Nissan : 350z Coupe, 2005, 3.5 V6, $2k Stereo, Auto, 99k Miles, Great Condition! on 2040-cars
Spruce Pine, North Carolina, United States
This car is in near perfect shape. I have only had one problem with it, after having owned it for 55,000 of its current 99,000 miles. The Cold Air Intake that I had installed would pull water from the ground and trip the computer into "limp-home" mode. I had the CAI cut to where this is no longer a problem. The car runs like a dream and sounds amazing! It has around 312 HP stock and can easily be built up to 400 to 500HP, or you could keep it purely original as a show car or Sunday driver. It drives and handles like a true super-sports car. Nissan made the suspension and steering stiff and ultra responsive. There is no body roll or delay when making quick maneuvers. This 350Z is by far the best Nissan has made. Factory OEM Options: HID Headlights, Alarm System Remote Entry, 6 Speaker Stereo W/ CD Player Power windows, locks & mirrors Traction control (can be turned off to spin tires) Airbags, anti-lock brakes, garage door opener Cruise control, tilt wheel, MPG gauge 3.5 liter V6, A/T, rear wheel drive Aluminum Alloy Rims Aluminum Hood & suspension components, rear window wiper and washer fluid squirter And much more! The only issues with the car is that there is a small dent on the passenger side of the front bumper from a small animal that was hit. Also, the clear coat on the side mirrors has faded. These are simple fixes, but I have been in school and have not had time to get them repaired. You can view the dent in the pictures above. The tires are BF Goodrich G Force Sports high performance tires - the last 4 of these tires in the country! I hate to sell this Z, but I need the money! Trades: I want to sell this car for cash as I am moving to NY for an internship and need the money for rent. Was around $41,000 new! *REASON FOR SELLING*: I have an internship in NYC and will be leaving my hometown to live in an apartment. Due to the congestion in the city and the cost of living, I am having to sell the car. I love the 350Z as it has been my pride and joy for 5 years. I have been sure to take great care of the car because I love it so much. I hate to sell it, but I need the cash for rent and living expenses. Modifications: AEM Cold Air Intake - Red (matches exterior of car) 2 10" Kicker Subwoofers and Amp Custom Subwoofer Box Touch Screen Stereo (damaged due to summer heat, but still works properly) Please read important details below.
It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle and to have satisfied themselves as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement. Winning this auction does not entitle you to come inspect the car and decide if you want to purchase it, but obligates you to complete the purchase. I need the money for my trip to New York for schooling and an internship that I have acquired, so please make fair offers. Thanks! |

For next Nissan CEO, priority is profit before Renault partnership
Tue, Sep 10 2019The next head of Nissan Motor Co will need to prioritize a recovery in profits at the troubled Japanese firm ahead of trying to fix its relationship with top shareholder Renault SA, executives and analysts say. Reviving earnings would strengthen the carmaker’s hand in negotiations with its French partner, and is something Renault itself would welcome as the owner of a 43.4% stake in Nissan. JapanÂ’s second-largest automaker said on Monday CEO Hiroto Saikawa would step down on Sept. 16 after he admitted to being overpaid in breach of company rules. ItÂ’s another heavy blow for Nissan, which is already reeling from the arrest of former chairman Carlos Ghosn last year and a subsequent plunge in earnings. Its stock is down 20% this year. For SaikawaÂ’s yet-to-be-named replacement, the top priority will be lifting profits from a more than decade low. Earnings have been undercut by years of heavy discounts and low-margin sales to rental firms that have cheapened NissanÂ’s brand image. Renault, which has unsuccessfully sought a full-blown merger with its larger partner, is likely to give the Japanese firm time to focus on its turnaround, a Nissan executive said. “It goes without saying recovery is the biggest priority,” the executive said, declining to be identified because the information is not public. “We have RenaultÂ’s understanding on that.” Tensions in the Nissan-Renault partnership worsened after GhosnÂ’s arrest. He is awaiting trial in Tokyo on financial misconduct charges that he denies. The strain has sparked investor concern about the future of the Franco-Japanese automaking alliance at a time when car companies desperately need scale to keep up with sweeping technological changes like electric vehicles and ride-hailing. Nissan executives have long complained about their unequal partnership with Renault, which saved the Japanese firm from bankruptcy in 1999. Nissan holds a 15% stake in Renault, but without voting rights. Tokyo is also seen as being uneasy about the French governmentÂ’s 15% holding in Renault, which makes Paris an indirect shareholder in Nissan. “Profitability is likely to remain under pressure and it (Nissan) is unlikely to promptly reach an agreement with Renault over the future shape of the alliance,” analysts at Standard & PoorÂ’s said in a note. Tensions worsened when Renault tried to in vain to merge with Nissan and then Fiat Chrysler.
Panoz mulls suing Nissan for ZEOD RC's Deltawing likeness
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery, but in racing, where something as simple as a car's shape can lead to a competitive advantage, imitation can be a big no-no. That reality is being played out right now, with the DeltaWing prototype and the Nissan ZEOD RC. The two cars, as you can see from the images above, bear a striking resemblance to each other. They're so similar, in fact, that Dr. Don Panoz, one of the big names behind the DeltaWing program, is assigning some legal eagles to investigate any patent infringement.
The similarity shouldn't be a shock, though. Both cars are penned by Ben Bowlby, and the DeltaWing - which will be arriving as a coupe in the very near future - had Nissan branding and power for a not-insignificant amount of time. But for Panoz, the ZEOD RC's resemblance is just a bit too much, as he told Autoweek, "It's been interesting to watch people from Nissan trying to dodge the question, but the fact is that in their own press release they admit that the configuration of the ZEOD is the same as the DeltaWing. And we do have patents, in fact another one was just issued last week. We are in discussions with our legal advisors and we'll see what happens."
Frankly, it's not difficult to see what Panoz means. The general shape of the ZEOD RC, with its wide rear track and narrow front track arrangement - not to mention the headlights mounted over the rear wheel arches and any arrangements not visible under the body - are so reminiscent of the DeltaWing that differences like the shape of its closed cockpit and more upright front end might not prove different enough to avert Panoz's legal action. We'll stay with this one and let you know as more becomes available.
'Qashqai' so hard to pronounce even Nissan is poking fun at it
Mon, 14 Apr 2014In the US, there aren't a lot of vehicle names that are very difficult to pronounce. Maybe the Volkswagen Touareg might trip up a few people, but by and large, we've got it pretty easy. Our friends in Europe, though, have a bigger challenge, thanks to vehicles like the Nissan Qashqai. Yes, Qashqai.
Like the Touareg, the Qashqai draws its name from a nomadic people. While Nissan isn't making up words, then, it's still not an easy name to pronounce. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson routinely calls it a kumquat, for example. According to Nissan, though, it's pronounced "Cash'kai".
To get its point across as the second-gen Qashqai, the close cousin of the US market Rogue, prepares to launch in Australia, Nissan set up a little event at a coffee shop. Customers would place their orders, only to have the spelling of their names butchered rather badly. On the other side of the cup, there's a message from Nissan and the Qashqai.
